Title: how stupid is fox news
Post by: frankieG on November 11, 2008, 02:59:46 AM
i am watching special report with Brit Hume on fox news.  He has a so called "all star panel" which are just fox news correspondents,  Mara Liasson, Chris VanHollen and Charles Krauthammer.  The latter Krauthammer said that Obama is inheriting a economic crisis and two wars.  He went on to say "the war in Iraq which is mostly won".  WHAT THE f%$k.  Fox News has not let me down.  They are a fictional as the bible.   Iraq mostly won.  That is just ridiculous.  Iraq will never be won. It could never be won.  It will never be one.  A invading force that does not have the support of the populous will never win.  Oh and "economic crisis"?  is that a understatement or what.  We are now in a recession and unless taken care of very carefully a full blown depression.  Actually if you look at the numbers world wide we are already in a depression, but no one is willing to say that.

1) yep, that's crazy talk. agreed.

2) part of the problem with admitting this is that people start spending like we are. corporations tighten R&D, all the 'fun' goes out of life, etc....

and then there is a baby boom ! why ? if you've never been locked in a wintery cabin for a few weeks you won't understand ;)

Every faction has their favorite propaganda instrument and likes to feel superior about it.  This is the nature of propaganda.

I would say CNN is the only fair news network, though they didn't used to be.

When the media (and Fox excell at this although it is a spreading trend) start interviewing themselves and other journalists as "experts" you know they are about to dissapear up their own exhaust pipes.

The problem with 24hr news is that you have to fill it for 24hrs.

yikes... does a 'fair news network' even exist... even if they were they wouldn't be in business... ppl crave fancified news more than the real stuff.

my biggest kick, is skipping by one of those big network news stations and seeing 'breaking news!' and them talking about someting relatively lame... then tuning in a few hours later and it still says breaking news but its the same shyte they're talking about.  thats when I say "give me a break, news" and continue watching ESPN.

The only 'fair news' network that exists to my knowledge (or rather well known one) is Reuters.

CNN has gone back to being a television version of Reuters or the Associated Press I think- at least when they have political spin artists, they always have one of each so you can hear both veiws and decide for yourself what to believe. BBC is pretty good too.

but it seemed as though most of them were invested in obamas victory., i saw more of him on most news proggies than i saw of anyone else. but hey they succeeeded. i see no impartial news sources anymore. most are liberal, it seems. and i find NO fault wiht that. but it does seem that Objective journalism is dead in america  :cry: ;)
